I've mentioned it a few times in various articles and replies to others, but just in csae it was missed: I will most definitely be getting an Xbox 360 when they are released. Unless something goes horribly wrong with the local game store, it's bought and paid for and will be mine as soon as I can pick it up on release day.
I've got at least one game already pre-paid now. Call of Duty 2, which there have been rave reviews for. It's supposed to be hyper-realistic, and give you the impression you are watching and/or participating in a movie. Very life like graphics. Very "cool."
I've got a deposit down on the 360 version of Madden 2006. I'm hoping for a big wow factor for that one too. The graphics should be impressive, and Madden normally gives at least an acceptably playable football video game challenge (at least for a few weeks.... if I get bored with it quick, I'll take it and trade it quickly).
I was very interested (originally) in PGR3 (Project Gotham Racing 3) which was also getting rave reviews. I've heard mixed reports that the game may or may not be out in time for the system release. I'm still interested in playing the game, but will probably simply rent it and give it a good trial that way. Quake IV was another possibility, but it was kicked to the curb for COD2, which is really supposed to be the ultimate.
Some other games are also getting raves, including Kameo and some others. I'm not (so far) that interested in those other games, but who knows what will happen if I start reading too much of the hype and believing any of it.
Anyway, I'm seriously interested in who is gonna be able to yak with me about their own 360, and who is intentionally passing on the 360 in favor of the PS3 (and perhaps why are you choosing one system over the other). If you are intending to get both, that's cool too. So, without further ado, please tell me which system you are getting, and what games you are most looking forward to.
